Grid cells and mesh faces

Hi there,

I am new to Grasshopper and I have a question which might have a very simple answer.

Is there a way to transform a grid cell into a mesh face? 

I am trying to obtain a catenary dome with a reciprocal pattern using Kangaroo Physics. This worked fine with meshes made up of rectangular RFs (image attached) but I can't get it to work with triangular RFs: I tried using construct mesh to then deconstruct it again in its component part to feed them into Kangaroo but all I got was a sort of mesh of meshes. I've attached my code so far.

I would much appreciate your help.

Hello Irina,

Could you sketch out where you want your mesh faces on the reciprocal grid?

You can use Geometry Gym's bull ant to make mesh faces from lines/points.

The tool is called SDR network patch or something like that.

Ask Jon for a student license.

All the best,

Arthur

Hi Irina,

I see you are trying to convert triangular polylines into meshes.

Here is one way to do this:

Note that the output of ConstructMesh is flattened before going into Combine&Clean so that it gets turned into a single mesh
